The next morning…

As the sun slowly rose over the horizon, the soft light was piercing through the curtains kissing the skin of the sleeping girl on the bed. 

The room was brightly fresh and quiet. After a short while the sleeping girl had started to move. 

Her lashes fluttered like b.u.t.terfly wings before she opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes for a bit and stared at the ceiling, pressing her temples. 

'Hm? Where am I?' she thought as she started looking around. When she turned her head to her right side, she was surprised to see Yu Chen sitting - or more like sleeping, on the chair just beside her bed, facing her. 

Her eyes immediately widened and she rose to sit. Her brows creased as she started to try remembering what had happened last night. 

She remembered herself drinking with Davi and Hinari and then after that… everything had turned blurry. It seemed like she had drunk too much that she had a black out.

What happened last night? Why is Yu Chen sleeping on the chair? How long has he been sleeping like that?

Luo Xiaolei looked at him again and felt bad to see him sleeping like that so she slowly stood and walked towards him. The G.o.dly creature was just so blindingly gorgeous as usual despite him sleeping uncomfortably like that. His dark hair was looking at bit messy. I was hiding some part of his eyes, and she just loved it. His beauty would always stun her mind no matter what situation he's into and Luo Xiaolei somehow felt like his ethereal look wasn't something she could ever grow accustomed to. 

Clenching the blanket in her hands, Luo Xiaolei sighed, fighting the urged to pinch his cheeks. She then slowly lifted her hands and was about to put on the blanket on him when…

Yu Chen's eyes suddenly opened. 

"Good morning," Yu Chen immediately greeted her, waking Luo Xiaolei's dazed cells back to life. 

"G-good morning. Why… why are you sleeping here?" she asked, sounding a bit worried. 

When Yu Chen just innocently blink at her, Luo Xiaolei didn't know why but the way this man looked at her suddenly made her felt somewhat guilty.

"You… don't remember what happened last night?" he asked hesitantly and Luo Xiaolei creased her brows. 

She fell silent for a moment before she shook her head. 

"I… see," he uttered and then, he abruptly averted his gaze. His reaction made Luo Xiaolei's eyes narrowed and when she noticed that Yu Chen's ears seemed to have turned a bit red, her mouth hang open. 

W-why is he… did his ears just flush red? Oh G.o.d, did I do something to him while I'm drunk?

"Could it be that I kicked you out of the bed the last night?" Luo Xiaolei tried to stay unaffected but Yu Chen just glanced at her and looked away again, rendering Luo Xiaolei speechless. 

T-this man… why are you acting like this? You're not just killing me with curiosity now… you're killing me with all your expressions right now!! What's with those… with those adorable…. Excessively cute shy gaze and blus.h.i.+ng ears?!!! You want my nose to bleed early in the morning?!   

Luo Xiaolei would have never expect this man of all people to act like this. No matter what would have had happened last night, it was just too hard for her to believe that this Yu Chen was suddenly being shy and even blus.h.i.+ng like this!

Wait… wait… your eyes might be deceiving you right now Luo Xiaolei… calm down, calm down and see things carefully once again…

Luo Xiaolei breathed deep more than once with her eyes shut closed. When she was ready, she opened her eyes again and looked at him and was astounded. The man was still looking away and his ears were really red.

This unbelievable sight made Luo Xiaolei's almost want to faint. And then… 

Suddenly, Luo Xiaolei held his face and made him look at her. But after just some few seconds, she immediately regretted what she did. Now that they were looking at each other's eyes, she couldn't speak. Well, what would she even say? Ask him if he was really blus.h.i.+ng and being shy right now? How could she even ask such questions?!

But then, she didn't know why but she still ended up asking him anyway.

"Er… sorry, I just thought… uhm… you seemed to be blus.h.i.+ng and being shy so… I thought about confirming it, but there's no way, right?" Luo Xiaolei bite her lips and even forced a smile for being so ridiculous. 

But then, again, the unexpected turn of events just kept on coming. 

The man's eyes flickered and then he spoke. "No, you are right. My face and ears feels hot right now so it seems like I am indeed, blus.h.i.+ng... that's why I…"

Luo Xiaolei choked. She suddenly coughed in front of Yu Chen, causing the man to quickly move and patted her back. 

"What happened? Are you alright?" he asked and Luo Xiaolei almost wanted to scold him hard. How could this man even… even admit something like this? Was there no limit of his honesty at all? Was there no limit of just how cute he would become?!

The struggle not to jump at him and just squeeze him and cuddle him at that moment was so real for Luo Xiaolei. She thought that he was only getting more and more irresistible by the day and she was afraid that she can no longer take it if he leveled up again. 

"I'm fine. I'm just…" Luo Xiaolei quickly calmed herself and had finally stopped coughing when she lifted her face to look at him. But the first thing her eyes saw made her felt like a series of lightning bolts had struck her all at once. 

When she saw Yu Chen's neck filled with hickeys, she instantly froze. 

Yu Chen immediately noticed her suddenly becoming still so he followed her line of sight.  

"What… who did that to you?" she asked but Yu Chen simply stared at her. Without saying a word, he just looked at her with those dark innocent eyes. 

Luo Xiaolei swallowed. "W-was it me?" she pointed her forefinger to herself and the moment the man nodded, a memory from last night started to appear in her head.
